its rocky walls. And we will learn the truth about the holocaust perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks in 1915 in which 1.5 million Armenians lost their lives.

Christmas in Krakow
Twenty years ago, my husband and I celebrated the most wonderous Christmas of our lives in Krakow, Poland as we joined our son and his family for the holiday. We visited the medieval Market Square, alive with Christmas, Santa Claus,
and Ronald McDonald; rode in a carriage to Wawal castle and met its fire-breathing dragon, Smok; and took a one-horse open sleigh ride over the river and thru the forested hills of the Carpathian Mountains. Let me share this storybook
memory with you.

Hauntings and History of the Emerald Isle
Experience History with a Paranormal Twist on an Armchair Tour Through Ireland. Ireland is famous for its “thin places,” a membrane or a thin layer between worlds that cross over each other. From pagan times to present, Ireland’s
dark history has been recorded in its abbeys and churches, forts and castles, jails and graveyards by those who lived during those turbulent times and often perished because of them. Their ghosts are eyewitnesses to this history. Sometimes,
they are the history.
